McKenzie Seeds - 2009 / Zeus & Hurricane
Rose:
took my daughter to lunch again bccs. sorry I can't be more specific about the big bird,No Binoccs,too bad because he came pretty close to us,Impression was of a very large black bird with lighter feathers on its under side (tail and wings). Bald eagles can be seen fairly often around this area and occasionally I have seen a golden eagle in the fall.

Where the white feathers sprinkled about on the black bird? Cause it might have been either an immature Bald Eagle or a Golden Eagle. If the white spots were located in parallel spots it was a Golden Eagle.
bccs:
Great update, thanks Rose ( ma )
Rose:
just got back from an hour on The Town Centre Parkade. Chicks are sure a nest full!! Lots of down being shed. At least one was doing some wingersizing. Hurricane on the MTS mast and zeus on an edge of Mckenzie Building. Chicks looked and acted like they had been fed not long before we got there.Went for lunch and just as we got back and before we had our Binnoculars out of the car,one of the adults was diving on a pigeon when around the corner of the building(about the level of the mckenzie sign)came a large all black raptor just lazilly soaring along.Both falcon adults got quite vocal and dive bombed it several times and it took off out of there to the east and disappeared. Needless to say the pigeon lived to be caught another day.The bird seemed to be all black with light feathers on the under side of the wings, could it have been an immature bald eagle?

Relax folks, this isn't news for us. And the new owner knows all about the peregrines and the Project. Now that its official, I will see if Brandon has more details, or if there are more details available yet. So don't panic, all is fine at the moment.

Good news, glad there is no panic, as yet.
